Chapter 2263 Two battles and two victories (3)

Crithon naturally refused to give up his rank.

In fact, in the East Asian countries, his fleet commander-in-chief is equivalent to the supreme emperor of all countries. His aura and enjoyment made Crithon not want to return to his motherland.

But Crython was still rational, so he was hesitating. Although he stopped chasing him, Crython did not order to retreat. He was waiting for the change!

At the end of You hour, the sky gradually darkened.

Logically speaking, if the war cannot be fought, it is time for everyone to go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.

I drank and celebrated the advantage, and licked the wounds that I suffered.

But what's strange is that the fleets of both sides are about thirty miles apart and remain unmoved.

Even the cannons have stopped fighting. Could it be that they stared at each other and killed the enemy with their eyes?

The battle situation finally changed at this moment.

Half an hour of waiting consumed Shi Lang's last patience, and he decided to take the lead.

Shi Lang guessed that Wang Yilin might be in trouble and might even be defeated by the enemy squadron.

If this is true, then once the Crython main fleet escapes from his nose, the consequences will not be able to withstand it.

Shi Lang resolutely decided to fight back!

This was really a great battle with great strength. From the beginning of the pursuit, Crython's main fleet did not lose a single ship except for a warship who might have diarrhea and voluntarily withdrawing from the battlefield. At this time, the battle situation reopened. Crython still had nearly 500 warships, including more than 100 main ships.

And all the warships in Shi Lang's hands were less than 200.

With the determination to fight this desperate battle, Shi Lang probably didn't plan to survive at this time.

Crython, who also kept holding a telescope as a mummy, sighed with relief when he saw the Shi Lang naval master start to move, because Crython thought Shi Lang wanted to dock.

With the enemy's active choice, Crithorne's order to retreat became passive, and he had an excuse to explain.

But the truth is not the case. When Krython discovered that Shi Lang's navy was not turning around, but came straight towards him, he was both surprised and happy!

What was shocked was that the yellow-skinned monkey was crazy? Are you looking for death?

What’s good is that when luck comes, it’s really impossible to stop the city wall!

How can you let go of the military achievements you have obtained easily?

If the enemy reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, it proves that they cannot come.

Perhaps, that hateful Napur won the enemy reinforcements?

Do you still need to hesitate?

Crithon resolutely ordered the whole army to face the enemy!

A tragic sea battle broke out under the dim sky as it was about to come to night.

One side is to fight to the death, and if you fail, you will be successful!

On the other hand, we will dominate the weak and swear to defend the honor of the Royal Navy of Great Britain to the death!

Once the war begins, this will be a situation that will never end!

....

Why has Wang Yilin been slow?

Logically speaking, Shi Lang and Wang Yilin agreed on a time to start.

When Shi Lang took the initiative to line up front and attract Cryston's main fleet to head westward, Wang Yilin had already begun to encircle the enemy's back.

If everything goes well, Wang Yilin will be at most half an hour behind Cryston's main fleet.

In other words, at the beginning of the You hour, it should appear in Shi Lang's field of vision.

So what trouble did Wang Yilin encounter?

To be precise, Wang Yilin did not encounter any trouble, but he was asking for trouble!

After defeating the squadron and capturing Napur, he accuses Napur, who has been stuffed with smelly socks in his mouth on a whim.

And to Napur, who was decent with the nobles, he had already swore in his heart that he would never want to see or mention this damn sock, so the only thing he could do was to say something and say everything he knew!

There are actually not many people who can explain to Napur. The deployment of troops on Dongfan Island is not an amazing secret, because they don’t have many people at all. As long as they land, those soldiers are not at all.

So, Napur didn't explain anything important, at least that's what Napur thought.

But the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional. Nabul explained the Zheng army's garrison where he retreated from Fuzhou and temporarily rested at Xingang Ai after crossing the sea.

This made Wang Yilin feel moved. After repeatedly confirming the specific location of the Zheng army to Napur, Wang Yilin could no longer suppress his surging mind. He immediately ordered to adjust the direction of the fleet - Zhengbei!

It’s not that Wang Yilin wants to sit there and watch Shi Lang’s naughty be destroyed.

Instead, Wang Yilin believed that the Shi Lang Navy might suffer huge losses when being pursued, but with the support of the Wuyu shore artillery, the Shi Lang Navy should be able to retreat calmly.

But what Napur told me was that the Zheng army that was temporarily resting in New Port Ai was much more important than this naval battle.

This Zheng army is almost the main force Zheng Sen relies on.

Zheng Sen had 50,000 rebels, but everyone understood that how many troops they claimed were and how many troops they could actually fight were two different concepts.

It is not like the Northern Expedition Army under Wu Zheng, which is said to be 200,000, which is 200,000 combat troops.

The 50,000 people who can fight were already quite good, and the rest were just cheering and cheering.

The Zheng army retreated from Fuzhou was the army that attacked Fuzhou and defended Fuzhou. Therefore, the existence of this army directly affected the success or failure of the Zhang Mingzhen naval division in the north at this time and shipped the landing of Chen Sheng's troops in Fuzhou.

The navy of the French people was strong, but no one had seen the infantry.

In Wang Yilin's heart, the Northern Expedition Army is the best in the world. As long as it lands successfully, it will sweep the world, let alone the people with few troops on this island?

This is the fundamental reason why Wang Yilin temporarily changed the course of the fleet. He wanted to shell the Zheng army that was temporarily resting in New Port Ai. If Nabul really follows the position of the confession, Wang Yilin believes that under the cover of unexpected naval cannons, this Zheng army can be destroyed or even annihilated by himself!

After changing direction, Wang Yilin repeatedly calculated the time spent and increased during this change.

The result of the calculation is that it takes more than one time.

For an hour, Shi Lang may hate himself for the rest of his life, provided that Shi Lang was still alive at that time.

But Wang Yilin didn't want to change his decision because he also knew that if he didn't do this, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Napur, who had no trace of guilt, got the "decent" he had always asked for. Wang Yilint was sure that he would not have to stuff his stinky socks. Napur felt that he had won the final victory!

....

Night battle was Shi Lang's only reliance on his determination to fight to the death.

In this era, night battles, especially naval battles, both sides basically lost their long-distance vision.

The field of vision is very important to the accuracy of the shelling.

As time goes by, the gunner can only rely on experience to determine the specific position of the enemy ship.

The effect of looking down has weakened.

The opponent's direction and intentions have become unpredictable.

This took a great advantage for Shi Lang and his subordinates.
